[Intro: Young Thug]
Thugger
Hey, hey you, come here! Come here ho
I mean, I eat you alive
Come here

[Chorus: Young Thug]
I've been gettin' money before you niggas
And if they ever, ever play I'ma show you niggas
I'm a thug, I swear I told you niggas
And I ain't Young Money but I'm above you niggas
Hey, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga
I say, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga

[Verse 1: Young Thug]
I'm cryin' wolf, I'm on that kush, kush
Got 23 grams of that Reggie so I mush, bush
Like, get away from me, you tastin' me
Your bitch patiently wait for me
As I, fuck that
These fuck niggas really play 'round here
Ummm, actin' like Big Will ain't really the man 'round here
Let YG come and stand 'round here
Really? he'll tell them fuck niggas really ran 'round here
Oops I mean ran 'round here, got the gun 'round here
And if your bitch ridin' here, she come 'round here
Actually she comes 'round here
Which means they fuckin' on her, she a pussy donor
Sorry, my diamonds are yellow No Coronas

[Chorus: Young Thug]
I've been gettin' money before you niggas
And if they ever, ever play I'ma show you niggas
I'm a thug, I swear I told you niggas
And I ain't Young Money but I'm above you niggas
Hey, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga
I say, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga

[Verse 2: Lil Duke]
I been throwed away what y'all just got
I'm with a bad bitch, she look like she from Baywatch
And I gotta line that you don't wanna cross
I get your head knocked off for an ounce of soft
Put 'em in the lost and found, go kickback in my loft
Inches fast growin' up and just laugh it off
Anyway, I got bills bigger than y'all
And please, don't make me pull the semi
That bitch sing a sad song with another end
Don't make me send them goons to come and clean your premise
All my goons strapped up, every clip extended
And you can get it, pussy nigga, I'm in it

[Chorus: Young Thug]
I've been gettin' money before you niggas
And if they ever, ever play I'ma show you niggas
I'm a thug, I swear I told you niggas
And I ain't Young Money but I'm above you niggas
Hey, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga
I say, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga

[Verse 3: MPA Wicced]
I say we been gettin' money, that should be my middle name
I'm just a young gunner tryna get a little fame
You little niggas lame, bitch, I am a renegade
Before you shoot that burner, you gotta learn to penetrate
But we gonna show them niggas
Pull up and get to it like we owe them niggas
No deal but I'm at the front row of the Grammies
Grab a Swisher Sweet and stuff 'em with them grammies
Now we in the Sicilian suite
No Halloween
But we trick 'em and treat 'em
Chopper make 'em spin
Should I call that the ass cap?
I'm at the finish line you still stuck at your last lap

[Chorus: Young Thug]
I've been gettin' money before you niggas
And if they ever, ever play I'ma show you niggas
I'm a thug, I swear I told you niggas
And I ain't Young Money but I'm above you niggas
Hey, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga
I say, no game'll control you niggas
Keep a red flag 'cause I'm patrollin' nigga

Jeffery Lamar Williams (b. August 16, 1991), popularly known as Young Thug, is an innovative trap artist from Atlanta known for his experimental vocal styles on versatile production ranging from hard trap beats to experimental pop records. Thug is known as a pioneer for much of the 2010s generation of rap, and his constant cosigns, features, and chart presence cement his status as a leader in the streaming era and current rap scene.

While Young Thug released his first mixtape in 2011, it wasn’t until fellow ATL trap artist Gucci Mane took Thug under his wing in 2013 that he began to see great success as an artist. That year, Thug released his first major hit, “Stoner,” which quickly gained viral traction on social media, then “Danny Glover,” which propelled him to an even larger scale of success. After Gucci Mane went to prison in 2013, Thug saw success by re-aligning himself with Cash Money Records’s own Birdman and his newly-formed Rich Gang collective with the hit single “Lifestyle” and a collaborative mixtape before officially signing to 300 Ent. in 2015. Under 300, Thug continued to release many more singles, mixtapes, and features, gradually boosting his popularity before releasing his debut album, So Much Fun, which topped the Billboard 200 on August 31, 2019.

After 2015’s “Best Friend” became Thug’s first platinum single, his 2016 collaboration with Travis Scott, “pick up the phone,” became his new highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100. This would later be succeeded by “Havana” with Camila Cabello, the best-selling single of 2018. However, his current highest-charting song as lead artist is “Hot,” which topped the Rolling Stone 100 and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing his previous biggest hit, “The London,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
